- Super Bright LED swap from Halogen on your MK7 Volkswagen Golf, GTI, Alltrack or Sportwagen! See below for all the details....
I bought the DeAutoLED bulbs, because they are supposed to be plug and play and the best. You do not need new headlight housings, just replace the bulbs!
Link to DeAutoLED:
deautokey.com/...
Here is a cheaper alternative on Amazon, which might work, but headlights are not something you should cheap out on:

if de auto key's shipping to canada wasn't so crazy expensive these would be great to get.
I finally ordered some led low beam from destroyed.
144 dollars for two.
Should be a huge improvement.
I used the fogs a help the weak halogens.
Iv just bought the same bulbs for my mk7 golf.. Did you have trouble with the bulb locking in straight ? When mine lock in the leds are pointing at 8 & 2 instead of 3&9 so my beam alignment is off.. Trying to work out how to make the bulb lock in vertical how it's meant to be lol. Your lights look awesome by the way 👍
You should contact DeAutoLED for any issue like that. I have contacted them before on footwell lights and they answered me right away! Good luck
@@CarsandCoding Hi, this post is being brought to our attention again. We understand if you don't want us posting here but could you mention this person DOES NOT have our LEDs? Ours are the only ones on the market that align 9 and 3 :) This person has a competitor LED that locks 8 and 2 because they are not custom for the GTI. Thank you for the great video. We will share it for you!
In installed these lights, :( got a defect ticket after a week for illegal headlights, the cop explained that the glare he experienced head on was blinding! U need Projector headlights.. damn, i guess don't do it.
Great job. Did you put the rubber covers on. Do they dazzle on coming cars?
I aimed the lights a bit lower, no complaints.
I personally would NOT install LED headlights (at least not low beam) in front of reflector housings. You're going to blind the shit out of people that way. Projectors, no problem.
Idk how you’re able to fit your hand and install in the front. I’m gonna have to go thru wheel well for both sides
It wasn’t easy! But through the wheel is fast also.
Did it give you an error on dashboard?
@@Aurelshaba No errors
Hi, thanks for this informative video! Please could you advise if any error codes come up on the dashboard? And did you need a canbus adapter?
No errors, no adapters, just plug them in like normal.
@@CarsandCodingMany thanks for your response 🙏🏽
Hi! 2yrs later how are they holding up? Thanks!
Still going great! I have never once been flashed by oncoming traffic. Have to aim them correctly and they are great!
@@CarsandCoding thanks for the reply! I installed the Sylvania Ultra Star - they're recommended best replacement bulb. But hugely disappointed lol so now I'm going all in for the les bulbs. I'll try this brand out. Lastly, did you have to adjust anything manually? And if so, how? Otherwise is it just plug and play swap? Thanks again!
@@BA-rh5hyyou have to aim the headlights using the adjustment screws. Plug in the new bulbs just like any replacement bulb. Adjust after.
Think they'll be a problem for on coming cars?
In the video you can see the lights cut off below the drivers door window on a car that turned in front of me in the distance. They are aimed low enough to not go into drivers eyes. The only negative is there is a little bit of dark spots/shadow on the road Vs if these were factory, but again, it’s like comparing a candle to a 100w lightbulb when comparing the halogens to these. I think they are awesome for the money and quick install.
@@CarsandCoding Thanks for the detailed response. They look great.
@@DadWagon thanks! Love your channel, VW Golf Sportwagens for the win! :)
So how do the bulbs actually connect? You didn't screw back on the old black backing that was attached to the halogens? How do the bulbs light if no power to back of em? You didn't show how they connect!??
Correct, the led bulbs are a complete unit, nothing from the old bulb is reused. I separated the heat sink from the new bulb in order to sneak it in, then I screwed the heat sink back on. The big hockey puck sized cover is put back on but that is just so no water/dirt gets in. The black handle shaped part on the old halogen bulb is NOT used.
I wish they were allowed in Poland. Did you do any coding on vcds? Nostrobo effect? How about upcoming cars don't they blind?
No problems. Aimed correctly. No blinding.
Great video, tks
Still love my vw se 1.8 sportwagon that i bought new in '15.
Waiting for the deautoleds to arrive.
Good choice!
How are they holding up?
@@livnaway great! And I’ve never been flashed by oncoming traffic
does this upgrade both the regular and high beam lights?
@@livnaway I only did the low beams but you can do both
Are they street legal?
What’s the lifespan for these?
I would expect them to last a long time, they are LED
And other led for big lights how you change?
I did not change the high beams.
I got this car.
I'd love ve to fit LEDs but not legal to change them in the UK
move to EU😄
Yes it is, it’ll pass the mot and it’s not illegal, I did it on my mk7
@LukasMRobin
How much does it cost and where shall I order ebay
Also not legal here in holland, but since this year i believe these are legal: Osram Night Breaker LED GEN 2 H7. They come with a certificate and are specific for halogen to LED conversions.
Just to confirm - these are the H7 bulbs that deAuto refers to as "forward lighting fog"? It seems they're doing this because, technically, you're not supposed to install LED headlights?
That is correct!
Oh, I was getting confused because they say fogs.
I believe I got the same ones.
144 bucks for 2.
Hear they have high quality stuff.
We got 4 leds for 16 dollars on eBay for errand car so we'll see what those are like..lol
Cheers
Great video. Did you put back the rubber cap?
Yes
no proper beam pattern shots ?
...but how did you connect the bulb to the original wire ????
It plugged right in, no adapter needed, and there are no wires. The old bulb turns and pops out, the new one goes in.
